Are you asking for the 'full bush Brazilian'?

Tailor-making your bikini wax is the new trend for the hair down there

Is hairiness back for good? Or it is just the beauty take on the 70s fashion revival? Alongside armpit hair hitting the red carpet (because, why the hell shouldn't it) people are getting Full Bush Brazilian waxes.

Hold up – what?

Our American sisters have coined the trend, which refers to the bikini line and bum bit being waxed bare, with a fuller bush left to flourish on top. Like beachy waves; it looks effortless but is precisely orchestrated.

We spoke to the experts at Strip, London's original waxing boutique, who confirmed the trend is taking off here, too.

"We have seen a movement with regards to more hair wanted in the bikini area," Director Maria-Louise Featherstone said. "We still class a Brazilian as everything removed from underneath but on top it is up to the client if she would like a strip of hair left or a triangle." This has led to the "tailor made bikini wax".

So if you don't already, it's totally fine to go off piste with your wax. As Maria-Louise says, "Some clients are directing our waxing therapists whilst on the bed to exactly what hair they would like removed and what hair they would like left behind".

During this busy bikini-sporting season, Strip say the most requested bikini wax is still "by far" the 'Brazilian' (think landing strip if you can't already picture it).

Also on offer are the 'Hollywood' (ALL off), the 'G-String' (where a triangle of hair is left) and the 'Basic Bikini' tidy-up which should suffice for the high-waisted swimwear shoppers out there.

Whether the 'Full Bush' will grow big enough to be on your salon's menu remains to be seen, but if you want more inspo to tailor make your treatment, check out our guide to lady garden shapes and styles below.
